Our annual conference offers a unique platform for legal professionals, academics, and the general public to gain valuable insights into the evolving legal landscape concerning asylum and citizenship in Ireland and Europe.
Our speakers this year are renowned for their expertise in their respective fields and I look forward to engaging with them and all attendees in thought-provoking discussions on timely matters in immigration and asylum law.
